Service Precaution
WARNING: THIS VEHICLE HAS A SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS). REFER TO THE SRS
COMPONENT AND WIRING LOCATION VIEW IN
ORDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU ARE
PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS
COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING. WHEN YOU
ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS
COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING, REFER TO
THE SRS SERVICE INFORMATION. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN POSSIBLE
AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL INJURY, OR
OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS SYSTEM REPAIRS.
CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the
proper location. When you replace a fastener, use
ONLY the exact part number for that application.
ISUZU will call out those fasteners that require a
replacement after removal. ISUZU will also call out
the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread
sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not
use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, or other
corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or
fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings
adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint
clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When
you install fasteners, use the correct tightening
sequence and specifications. Following these
instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and
systems.

TRANSFER CASE (STANDARD TYPE)
Transfer Rear Oil Seal
Removal
1. Disconnect the rear propeller shaft from the transfer
case side.
2. Remove end nut and rear companion flange, using
the companion flange holder 5–8840–0133–0
(J–8614–11).

3. Use the universal puller to remove the rear
companion flange and O–ring.
4. Remove the oil seal from the transfer case.
Installation
To install, follow the removal steps in the reverse order,
noting the following points:
1. Install oil seal and apply engine oil to the oil seal outer
surfaces.
2. Apply the recommended grease (BESCO L2) or
equivalent to the oil seal lip.
3. Use the oil seal installer 5–8840–2292–0 (J–39208)
to install the rear seal to the transfer rear case.
220RW105
4. Install the rear companion flange and O–ring.
5. Use the companion flange holder 5–8840–0133–0
(J–8614–11) to install a new end nut and tighten to the
specified torque.
Torque: 167 Nꞏm (17.0kgꞏm/123 lb ft)
6. Use the punch 5–8840–2293–0 (J–39209) to stake
the end nut at two spots.
NOTE: Be sure to confirm that there is no crack at the
staked portion of the end nut after staking.
